Water Margin farming to become powerful

Seeing that his cavalry had surrounded Brother Richard and the others, Chen Lishi had the opportunity to pick up his sword. When he picked up his sword, he saw that his cavalry sword made of King Kong had been struck by Wanyan Zonghan. The cut was bent.

However, Wanyan Zonghan was at the end of his strength at this time.

The war horse under his crotch had been stabbed to death. At this time, he could only dismount and fight on foot. The corpses of two protecting soldiers lay beside him.

Wanyan Zonghan was wearing heavy armor, and the clashes between the light cavalry and the protecting troops did not cause much harm to him.

It is no longer possible to capture the opponent alive in hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing that it was impossible for Yan Zonghan to be captured alive, since he had already obtained this military merit, Chen Lishi would not risk the lives of his men just for this merit. He decisively ordered the protective troops surrounding Yan Zonghan to run away and reload their weapons.

After several gunshots, Wanyan Zonghan fell to the ground with blood-red eyes.

Seeing the death of Wanyan Zonghan, Brother Richard finally couldn't bear the unilateral massacre and finally raised his flag and surrendered.

At this time, the delivery team who arrived at the battlefield finally caught up slowly. When they saw the situation in front of them, the voices of the soldiers celebrating their victory could be heard in the Gobi Desert filled with yellow sand.

"Wanyan Zonghan is dead, we win! Wanyan Zonghan is dead, we win!"

Some people in these maternity care teams even cried loudly. These people used to be Song soldiers, let alone Jurchens. Even the Xixia people seemed to be difficult for them to deal with alone.

They still remember how aggressive the Jurchens were when they went south just a few months ago, and they, the Song soldiers, could only run away in front of the Jurchens.

But the body of Wanyan Zonghan lying on the ground now tells everyone that the war is over.

Two Jurchen generals invaded the Song Dynasty, but now the enemy chiefs have all been crowned in front of the Iron Army of the Supervisory Council.

This war ended with the overall victory of the Supervisory Committee and the overall defeat of Wanyan Zonghan and the Xixia people.

It was their group that defeated the invading enemies through a desperate struggle and regained a large area of ​​Han territory!
In an instant, even the soldiers from the maternity care team who had just joined the Supervisory Committee for a few days suddenly felt a strong sense of honor rolling in their hearts.

Chen Lishi and his search team had already penetrated deep into the desert. It would take two days to escort Wanyan Zonghan and the prisoners back, so they could only send the messenger cavalry to Xiangqing Army to convey the good news of the victory.

As for the remaining Xixia people and some fleeing Jurchens in the desert, the protective army did not intend to continue searching.

As long as the news that Wanyan Zonghan is dead and Brother Richard has surrendered is conveyed, most of these people will come to surrender in a short time.

As for those who did not come to surrender, it is a small probability event to escape back to the capital of Xixia. The greater possibility is to die of freezing and starvation in the desert.

After receiving this good news, Luan Tingyu decisively issued a military order:

The army spread out from left to right, attacking each fortress of the Xiangqing Army in one city and one pool. If they could surrender, they would surrender. If they couldn't, they would seize it by force. They would capture the entire territory of the Xiangqing Army as quickly as possible.

It is impossible for Xixia to sit back and watch Xiangqing's army be defeated by the protection army, and subsequent reinforcements must also be mobilized quickly.

If they want to fight a wave and then withdraw to the original territory of the Song Dynasty, then they should take their people and leave quickly to avoid facing the subsequent reinforcements from the Xixia Kingdom.

If they want to further explore the northwest, they must tear a hole in the border line of the Xixia Kingdom. Of course, the Protectorate Army is not willing to withdraw from the Xixia Kingdom so quickly, so it is imperative to capture the Xiangqing Army.

This is the result of the deliberations of the Front Committee of the Protection Party and has been approved by Sun Xin.And when the army sent by Li Qianshun arrived at Xiangqing Army, they found that there were already fortresses stationed by the protection troops along the way. Li Qianshun was also completely confused.

Li Qianshun's first reaction was of course to fight, and then the envoys protecting the army arrived at the capital of Xixia.

The conditions offered by the Gubao Army were very simple: "Xixia Junior High School is allowed to develop the Supervisory Committee, Xiangqing Army will be controlled by the Supervisory Committee, and the Supervisory Committee and Xixia Kingdom will share the Hexi Corridor trade route."

Li Qianshun didn't say anything. He just put the envoy of the Protector Army under house arrest in the palace and entertained him with delicious food and drinks. Ten days later, another battle report came from the front line. The Xixia National Army who attacked the Protector Army fortress suffered serious losses again.

Li Qianshun decisively chose to negotiate with the Baobao Army.

He no longer had the conditions to fight anymore. After two battles with the Jurchens and the Protectorate, both of which resulted in disastrous defeats, he really had no soldiers left in his country.

And from the perspective of people living in daily life, it is indeed good to talk early and good morning.

Xiangqing Army is not a small place. It is the largest hub of Xixia Kingdom facing the southeast. A large number of merchants enter Xixia Kingdom from Xiangqing Army, and then transfer to the Hexi Corridor.

With the Baobao Army controlling the area, the business tax on the Hexi Corridor, which was the foundation of the Xixia Kingdom, directly faced a huge loophole.

In order to attract merchants to trade in the Hexi Corridor, the Xixia Kingdom has very detailed management of commercial taxes. One tax is collected when entering the Xixia Kingdom, and another tax is collected when leaving the Xixia Kingdom. Through tax rate control, plus the control of Hexi The only way to pass through the corridor is to guide merchants to trade in Xixia, prospering the Xixia market, and at the same time increasing the commercial tax revenue in Xixia.

After the Protectorate Army took control of the Xiangqing Army, the toll station facing the southeast was directly demolished. The merchants entered Xixia from here. When they left the northwest entrance of the Hexi Corridor, the officials of the Xixia Kingdom had no idea that any of the goods carried by the merchants were How many were sent from the Song Dynasty, and how many were purchased in Xixia.

What makes Li Qianshun even more nervous is that before, whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Jurchens, although both sides could vaguely know what kind of business their Xixia Kingdom was doing, these two forces had previously been trying to deceive the lower-level officials. Wanting benefits, or not caring about commercial taxation, the border officials did not explain the detailed situation in Xixia to their respective senior officials.

Therefore, when the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens sanctioned the Xixia Kingdom, they always failed to find ideas. They were often played by the Xixia Kingdom, and even wanted benefits from both sides.

But what kind of organization is the Supervisory Board?Among the following cadres, there are specifically those in charge of trade. When assessing the newly established supervisory committee in each place, the extent to which local industry and commerce has been developed is also a performance indicator that the superiors focus on.

The Supervisory Committee had figured out this trick of the Xixia Kingdom even before it captured the Xiangqing Army.

Only a dozen days after the Supervisory Committee took over Xiangqing Army, Li Qianshun learned that the Supervisory Committee had actually begun to encourage the smuggling of goods from Xiangqing Army into the Xixia Kingdom.

Li Qianshun was stunned when he learned the news.

At this time, the second messenger sent by the Supervisory Committee held Sun Xin's personal letter in his hand.

Sun Xin did not pretend to be a celestial being to come to the country to rebuke, but simply conveyed the message in the letter very straightforwardly.

"The Supervisory Council has defeated the Xiangqing Army, but Xixia is still unwilling to sit down and negotiate with the Supervisory Council. It is still determined to suppress the Supervisory Council's power within the country. The Supervisory Council can only develop on its own."

"If the Xixia Kingdom still refuses to negotiate, then let's stop talking. From now on, the Xiangqing Army's Supervisory Committee will begin to smuggle into the Xixia Kingdom under official leadership, and the Supervisory Committee forces that have already taken root in the Xixia Kingdom will develop their own business network.”

Li Qianshun felt mixed emotions after reading this letter.
